Summary:
The 76103 zip code area of Fort Worth, Texas is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Fort Worth Independent School District (ISD) except for the East Fort Worth Montessori Academy, a public charter elementary school, and Clearfork Academy South, a high school that is part of the University of Texas University Charter School district.
Among the standout schools in the area is the East Fort Worth Montessori Academy, which has relatively strong academic performance, particularly in reading, with 56.52% of 3rd graders proficient or better compared to the district's 32.84% and the state's 48.85%. The school also has a lower student-teacher ratio of 9.8. In contrast, Clearfork Academy South has a very small enrollment of only 15 students and a concerning student-teacher ratio of 55.5, with mixed STAAR test performance.
Overall, the schools in the 76103 zip code area generally perform below the district and state averages on STAAR tests, particularly in mathematics, with the elementary schools showing more variability in performance. The schools serve a predominantly minority student population with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch, ranging from 77.71% at East Fort Worth Montessori Academy to 94.33% at Sagamore Hill Elementary. Despite relatively high per-student spending, the student-teacher ratios remain high, suggesting that factors beyond just demographics and funding, such as school leadership and instructional practices, may play a significant role in student outcomes.
